64b9e0294d sched: minor optimizations in wake_affine and select_task_rq_fair
This patch does following:
o Removes unused variable and argument "rq".
o Optimizes one of the "if" conditions in wake_affine() - i.e.  if
  "balanced" is true, we need not do rest of the calculations in the
  condition.
o If this cpu is same as the previous cpu (on which woken up task
  was running when it went to sleep), no need to call wake_affine at all.

fbcc4bacee ibm_newemac: MAL support for PowerPC 405EZ
The PowerPC 405EZ SoC has some differences in the interrupt layout and
handling for the MAL.  The SERR, TXDE, and RXDE interrupts are OR'd into
a single interrupt.  Also, due to the possibility for interrupt coalescing,
the TXEOB and RXEOB interrupts require an interrupt bit to be cleared in
the ICINTSTAT SDR.

This sets the proper MAL feature bits for 405EZ boards, and adds a common
shared handler for SERR, TXDE, and RXDE.  The defines for the ICINTSTAT DCR
are added to the proper header file as well.

This has been adapted from code originally written by Stefan Roese.

ec4f9945b5 ibm_newemac: Introduce mal_has_feature
There are some PowerPC SoCs that do odd things with the MAL handling.  In
order to accommodate them, we need to introduce a feature mechanism that is
similar to the existing emac_has_feature function.

This adds a feature variable to the mal_instance structure, and adds a
mal_has_feature function.  Two features are defined and are guarded
by Kconfig options that are selected by the affected platforms.

MAL_FTR_CLEAR_ICINSTAT is used for platforms that need to clear the
interrupt bits in the ICINTSTAT SDR for txeob/rxeob.  This is common
on MAL implementations that have interrupt coalescing.

MAL_FTR_COMMON_ERR_INT is used for platforms that have SERR, TXDE,
and RXDE OR'd into a single interrupt bit.

b68d185ab1 ibm_newemac: Allow the "no flow control" EMAC feature to work
Some PowerPC 40x chips have errata that force us not to use the integrated
flow control.  We have the feature defined, but it currently can't be used
because it is never added to EMAC_FTRS_POSSIBLE.

This adds a Kconfig option for affected platforms to select and puts the
feature in the EMAC_FTRS_POSSIBLE list.  This is set for PowerPC 405EZ
platforms as well.

ba0166708e sctp: Fix kernel panic while process protocol violation parameter
Since call to function sctp_sf_abort_violation() need paramter 'arg' with
'struct sctp_chunk' type, it will read the chunk type and chunk length from
the chunk_hdr member of chunk. But call to sctp_sf_violation_paramlen()
always with 'struct sctp_paramhdr' type's parameter, it will be passed to
sctp_sf_abort_violation(). This may cause kernel panic.

   sctp_sf_violation_paramlen()
     |-- sctp_sf_abort_violation()
        |-- sctp_make_abort_violation()

This patch fixed this problem. This patch also fix two place which called
sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() with wrong paramter type.

7317d7b87e sched: improve preempt debugging
This patch helped me out with a problem I recently had....

Basically, when the kernel lock is held, then preempt_count underflow does not
get detected until it is released which may be a long time (and arbitrarily,
eg at different points it may be rescheduled). If the bkl is released at
schedule, the resulting output is actually fairly cryptic...

With any other lock that elevates preempt_count, it is illegal to schedule
under it (which would get found pretty quickly). bkl allows scheduling with
preempt_count elevated, which makes underflows hard to debug.

e3145dfb7b ALSA: ASoC: Fix cs4270 error path
The error path in cs4270_probe/cs4270_remove is pretty broken:
* If cs4270_probe fails, codec is leaked.
* If snd_soc_register_card fails, cs4270_i2c_driver stays registered.
* If I2C support is enabled but no I2C device is found, i2c_del_driver
  is never called (neither in cs4270_probe nor in cs4270_remove.

Fix all 3 problems by implementing a clean error path in cs4270_probe
and jumping to its labels as needed.

309dbbabee [ARM] dma: don't touch cache on dma_*_for_cpu()
As per the dma_unmap_* calls, we don't touch the cache when a DMA
buffer transitions from device to CPU ownership.  Presently, no
problems have been identified with speculative cache prefetching
which in itself is a new feature in later architectures.  We may
have to revisit the DMA API later for these architectures anyway.

ba60ecabf0 UBIFS: fix races in bit-fields
We cannot store bit-fields together if the processes which
change them may race, unless we serialize them.

Thus, move the nospc and nospc_rp bit-fields eway from
the mount option/constant bit-fields, to avoid races.

625bf371c1 UBIFS: use bit-fields when possible
The "bulk_read" and "no_chk_data_crc" have only 2 values -
0 and 1. We already have bit-fields in corresponding data
structers, so make "bulk_read" and "no_chk_data_crc"
bit-fields as well.

ccb3eba724 UBIFS: check data CRC when in error state
When UBIFS switches to R/O mode because of an error,
it is reasonable to enable data CRC checking.

2242c689ec UBIFS: improve znode splitting rules
When inserting into a full znode it is split into two
znodes.  Because data node keys are usually consecutive,
it is better to try to keep them together.  This patch
does a better job of that.

2953e73f1c UBIFS: add no_chk_data_crc mount option
UBIFS read performance can be improved by skipping the CRC
check when data nodes are read.  This option can be used if
the underlying media is considered to be highly reliable.
Note that CRCs are always checked for metadata.

Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 19 MiB/s
to 27 MiB/s with data CRC checking disabled.

4793e7c5e1 UBIFS: add bulk-read facility
Some flash media are capable of reading sequentially at faster rates.
UBIFS bulk-read facility is designed to take advantage of that, by
reading in one go consecutive data nodes that are also located
consecutively in the same LEB.

Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 17 MiB/s to
19 MiB/s.

a70948b564 UBIFS: use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test
In case of error, the function kthread_create returns an ERR pointer,
but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes before an
IS_ERR test should be deleted.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@match_bad_null_test@
expression x, E;
statement S1,S2;
@@
x = kthread_create(...)
... when != x = E
* if (x == NULL)
S1 else S2
// </smpl>

746103aca2 UBIFS: inline one-line functions
'ubifs_get_lprops()' and 'ubifs_release_lprops()' basically wrap
mutex lock and unlock. We have them because we want lprops subsystem
be separate and as independent as possible. And we planned better
locking rules for lprops.

Anyway, because they are short, it is better to inline them.

948cfb219b UBIFS: add a print, fix comments and more minor stuff
This commit adds a reserved pool size print and tweaks the
prints to make them look nicer.

It also fixes and cleans-up some comments.

Additionally, it deletes some blank lines to make the code look
a little nicer.

In other words, nothing essential.
